Overview of this book

The MEAN stack is a collection of the most popular modern tools for web development; it comprises MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js. Starting with MEAN core frameworks, this project-based guide will explain the key concepts of each framework, how to set them up properly, and how to use popular modules to connect it all together. By following the real-world examples shown in this tutorial, you will scaffold your MEAN application architecture, add an authentication layer, and develop an MVC structure to support your project development. Finally, you will walk through the different tools and frameworks that will help expedite your daily development cycles. Watch how your application development grows by learning from the only guide that is solely orientated towards building a full, end-to-end, real-time application using the MEAN stack!

Summary


In this chapter, you met the robust Mongoose model. You connected to your MongoDB instance and created your first Mongoose schema and model. You also learned how to validate your data and modify it using Schema modifiers and Mongoose middleware. You were introduced to virtual attributes and modifiers, and you learned to use them to change the representation of your documents. You also discovered the MongoDB DBRef feature and the way Mongoose utilizes that feature. In the next chapter, we'll go over the Passport authentication module, which will use your User model to address user authentication.
